  Gordon Ramsay: On Top of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min

  Best known as the host of Fox's Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay is one of the most driven, successful, and irate chefs around. He has thrown Hollywood actresses out of his restaurants and is notorious for his anger, but his food has been served to numerous heads of state, and he is one of only three chefs in England whose restaurant is rated at three Michelin stars. In this illuminating work, Ramsay discusses the violent, alcoholic, absent father who died just days after the pair had been reconciled as adults; the best friend and protégé whose bizarre suicide came hours after the two had shared a final meal; the decade-long battle to save his younger brother from heroin addiction and crime; and the real reason why he has not attended the births of any of his four children. Sometimes hilarious and frequently heartbreaking, this is Gordon Ramsay’s full life, from tenements and poverty to top-notch restaurants and fame. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Rome at War: Farms, Families, and Death in the Middle Republic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min

  Historians have long asserted that during and after the Hannibalic War, the Roman Republic's need to conscript men for long-term military service helped bring about the demise of Italy's small farms and that the misery of impoverished citizens then became fuel for the social and political conflagrations of the late republic. Nathan Rosenstein challenges this claim, showing how Rome reconciled the needs of war and agriculture throughout the middle republic.The key, Rosenstein argues, lies in recognizing the critical role of family formation. By analyzing models of families' needs for agricultural labor over their life cycles, he shows that families often had a surplus of manpower to meet the demands of military conscription. Did, then, Roman imperialism play any role in the social crisis of the later second century B.C.?Rosenstein argues that Roman warfare had critical demographic consequences that have gone unrecognized by previous historians: heavy military mortality paradoxically helped sustain a dramatic increase in the birthrate, ultimately leading to overpopulation and landlessness. ungekürzt.

  Fitness Landscapes and the Origin of Species (MPB-41) (eBook, PDF)

  The origin of species has fascinated both biologists and the general public since the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859. Significant progress in understanding the process was achieved in the "modern synthesis," when Theodosius Dobzhansky, Ernst Mayr, and others reconciled Mendelian genetics with Darwin's natural selection. Although evolutionary biologists have developed significant new theory and data about speciation in the years since the modern synthesis, this book represents the first systematic attempt to summarize and generalize what mathematical models tell us about the dynamics of speciation. Fitness Landscapes and the Origin of Species presents both an overview of the forty years of previous theoretical research and the author's new results. Sergey Gavrilets uses a unified framework based on the notion of fitness landscapes introduced by Sewall Wright in 1932, generalizing this notion to explore the consequences of the huge dimensionality of fitness landscapes that correspond to biological systems. In contrast to previous theoretical work, which was based largely on numerical simulations, Gavrilets develops simple mathematical models that allow for analytical investigation and clear interpretation in biological terms. Covering controversial topics, including sympatric speciation and the effects of sexual conflict on speciation, this book builds for the first time a general, quantitative theory for the origin of species.

  The Unadulterated Promise (The Promise Series, #5) (eBook, ePUB)

  Why does God allow the fulfillment of promises to falter and fail? The next generation are finding their place, as their lives begin to align and fall into position. Not everything, however, unfolds as hoped. Laurel receives dismaying news far from home, family, and friends. Grant, though reconciled with his father, faces the challenges presented by the decision he has made. Judah and Hadura find their joy overshadowed by insurmountable struggles that impact not only them, but also many others around them. Bethany steps into the vocation she's prepared for her entire lifetime, only to face an unexpected adversary. Joseph, who has approached the journey of his life with obedient patience, seems to at last be receiving all that he has hoped for, and more, until an unforeseen twist alters his course. Long-ago distant and absent family return to shake up the lives of several individuals. Tragedy topples a stalwart man, and raises others to compassion. Through it all, what must be, and is at length, recognized is that the promises of God, whether they be openly spoken or directed from within, are unaffected by circumstances. Be it for a moment or a season that appears contrary, the Divine plan for a life remains unchanging. This is Book 5 in the Promise Series.

  Discipleship at Any Cost: Practical Helps for the Overcommer, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 125min

  Discipleship is a very costly business, and in moments of severe trials, one may be tempted to ask, “Why go into all this trouble of suffering with Christ? Why not give up? Is there any reward?” Questions such as these are not new. The first disciples asked them. Peter asked the Lord Jesus, “Lo, we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?” (Matthew 19:27) A disciple of Christ is a person who has, first of all, received the Lord Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior and is therefore reconciled to God, and, secondly, has set his whole heart, mind, and all to seek him. The disciple makes Jesus his all and forsakes everything that may stand in the way of his fellowship with Christ. Such a one has Christ for his all in all and desires nothing outside of him. Such a relationship with Christ in which he becomes our all in all is very costly and, since the Lord Jesus warns us to count the cost, let us look at the cost. ungekürzt. Language: English.
